Review Policy

General

I am currently accepting Children’s, Young Adult, Middle Grade and Adult Fiction for review. You can send emails to books@twistedsense.com. I accept ARCs, finished copies, and audiobooks. If the book is a part of a series, then I would appreciate the preceding books for the sake of continuity. Audiobooks will receive two reviews: one for the story, and one for the reader’s performance. I prefer print books, but I am happy to receive your book in electronic format.

Accepting Books

I will do my best to review all books received, and adhere to your promotion schedules as needed. I will make a standard attempt to release the reviews 2-3 weeks before each book’s official release date. Please do include the expected release date of the book so that I may plan accordingly. If you have any special requests for when I publish the reviews, please include that information as well.

Reviews

I post reviews widely to various mediums. Goodreads, Amazon, and Facebook, Library Thing, and Shelfari are the priority websites to publish reviews. I will also utilize Twitter to publicize these reviews. If you have an alternative you’d like me to use, I am open to suggestion.

Reviews are written to invoke the feeling of a friend recommending a book to another friend. I do not intend to write objective literary critiques. These will be very personal and subjective. I will write the review honestly, but I can’t promise to enjoy every book read. My reviews will be candid but fair, and no unnecessarily negative language is used in any review.

If, for any reason, I do not finish the book, I will attempt to write an explanation as to why. I will include what page I read up to, and my thoughts of the book up to that point. I will always try to continue a DID-NOT-FINISH book at a later date, when hopefully a resting of my eyes and brain will help me connect better with the story.

Let me host your giveaway! Entries will be compiled & winners chosen using Rafflecopter. If you would like me to host a giveaway for a book, please be sure to include the following information in your request:
